Chiropractic

When I was first considering chiropractic school, about seventeen years ago, I asked my primary care doctor for some advice and for his thoughts about chiropractors and the chiropractic profession. He said that he really didn’t know what chiropractic was, nor how it helps patients. However, he went on to say that he was aware of many patients who had been helped by chiropractors. Since then, one of my objectives has been to help others understand the different approaches Doctors of Chiropractic take when working with patients. I outline my approach below in the hope that it will help others, like my PCP, better understand chiropractic as I see it. -Greg Turpin DC

ProMotion Chiropractic and Therapuetics LLC

ProMotion Chiropractic and Therapuetics LLC (ProMotion) provides patient centered, evidence based clinical chiropractic care and therapeutic modalites. Patient goals drive the therapeutic outline and care plans. One size does not fit all, and we have the resources and experience to individualize protocols to address acute and chronic symptoms, stress based issues, postural and gait dysfunction, as well as enhancing hobbies and other activities of daily living.

We start with an initial appointment, which is multipurpose. Our first objective is to understand the current presenting problem and related history. Second is to learn the intention behind seeking chiropractic care and the patient's goal. For instance, some patients present with symptoms that are limiting their ability to perform their job or participate in activities that they enjoy, such as sports or other recreational activities. Others may have experienced a trauma that is very debilitating. The patient’s goal is ProMotion’s goal.

Care plans and recommendations are based on history and examination findings and are discussed with each patient prior to initiation. Each patient is autonomous with respect to protocols used to address their individual chief complaint (presenting problem) and may discontinue care at their discretion.

Home care is a valued and necessary part of most care plans. We provide resources such as therapeutic exercise recommendations, access to high quality nutritional supplementation, lifestyle and ergonomic assessment and we are available via email, text and phone (depending on time of attempted contact) to answer questions.

Session time units are usually scheduled in twenty (20) minute blocks for manual therapy and five (5) minute blocks for adjustments to adequately allow for patient/doctor interaction and to perform the necessary modalities. The initial visit may take up to forty-five (45) minutes due to detailed history taking and examination and therapy as needed.

Post session questions and feedback are offered after each meeting to ensure the care plan stays on purpose. Rescheduling takes place on a case by case basis and is discussed during the report of findings and after each meeting when indicated.
